Xmas holidays	Read Chapter 15 and work on your report

After the Christmas holidays, there will be a quiz on the last two chapters. Students are encouraged to keep working on their essay and presentation during the holidays (not for hours and hours every day...but do get something done).
We will spend the remaining prose classes on preparation for the "psychologist's evaluation" (Unit test), and on doing the evaluations (this takes about three classes). The remainder of our time will be spent on public speaking.
